Not in a nostalgic way but more in a way that quietly wears you down. That tight chest you get in the middle of a busy day... The way you suddenly snap at your kids and don’t know why... The tension in your jaw that never quite goes away... It’s not just stress. For many, juggling work, life, family, and emotional load — it’s trauma that hasn’t fully moved through the body.
